A Christmas Shelter Dog’s Poem
Author: Admin | Filed under: Christmas Thoughts - Serious, Dog Writing & Poems Friday Dec 21,2007Unfortunately it’s not all fun and joy, love and laughter for all the dogs out there this year, or any year or even any day of the year. At this most special time of the year I ask you to spare a few minutes…. read this and share it. I am reposting it from my main Dog site - For the Love of the Dog.

As you gather this holiday season to spend time with friends and family and your own beloved furry family members, take just a moment to think of those dogs and cats who sit alone and unwanted, with just the barest of necessities.
Gather up some old blankets and towels, maybe grab an extra bag of treats or food or a few toys when you’re out shopping and take that few extra minutes to drop them at your local shelter. You can do this anytime of the year, but at this special time of love and caring and sharing, please, take just those few extra minutes and make this holiday a little more special for a few lonely shelter animals.
A Christmas Shelter Dog’s Poem
’Tis the night before Christmas and all through the town,
every shelter is full—we are lost, but not found.
Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare,
we hope every minute that someone will care.
They’ll come to adopt us and give us the call,
“Come here, Max and Sparkie — come fetch your new ball!”
But now we sit here and think of the days
we were treated so fondly — we had cute, baby ways.
